Gablenzbrücke, Road bridge in Kiel, Germany.

The Gablenzbrücke is a steel arch bridge in Kiel that carries multiple traffic routes over railway lines. It spans approximately 340 meters and connects the southwestern city with the eastern area where the harbor and other districts are located.

The first bridge was built in 1910 under the name Hummelwiesenbrücke and received its current name in 1914 to honor Austrian General Ludwig von Gablenz. The current structure was completed in 2009 and replaced the aging predecessor bridge.

The bridge connects two important city districts and is part of the transportation network that enabled Kiel's expansion from the harbor inland. Residents and visitors use it daily to move between residential and working areas.

The bridge is used by vehicles, cyclists, and pedestrians and connects the southwestern city district with areas east of the railway lines. The crossing is passable year-round and offers a direct route between Kiel's main traffic corridors.

The 66-metre arch span belongs to the steel arch bridge built from 2006 to 2009, not to the first bridge. That earlier structure, opened on 5 March 1910, was damaged only at its eastern reinforced-concrete ramp in World War II. The new arch, weighing about 1,700 tonnes, was assembled beside the tracks, lifted some 6 metres, rotated 90 degrees and slid into place during two closures of 5 hours each.
